Would appreciate any notifications of Folk events in the Pwlheli/Lleyn area if and when they occur. I was a keen member and sang regularly at the Derby Folk Club held at the Old Gaol run by Keith Kendrick and company and I miss the buzz and the camaraderie to be found on the Folk Scene.

Hi Maria,
Sorry for the delayed reply; I’m in Frinton-on-Sea, on the Essex coast, sorting though my deceased Mum’s house and posessions, ready for it to be sold, and the Mum’s internet is very dodgy! I know and love Keith and Sylvia (Needham); they have guested many times at Llantrisant Folk Club, and I have performed at many folk and maritime festivals with them. Click on trac, the all-Wales folk development organisation (website http://www.trac-cymru.org) – Blanche Rowen, director Danny Kilbride and projects officer Angharad Jenkins are very helpful for someone who has just moved to Wales. There’s Ty Siamas in Eldon Square, Dolgellau, the North Wales folk centre; Ywain Myfyr (headmaster and bodhran player with Cilmeri and Gwerinos) is chairman. Then there’s Tafarn Y Vic (the Victoria Inn) in Llithfaen, on the Llyn coast, which puts on regular musical events. You could look up our Regular Listings and Events Listings if you’re at a loss what to do one night! We’re driving back to Llantrisant (and much better communication) tomorrow night, where I’ll be in a much better position to respond to you – please email me again!
All the best,
